Master Yi into Nasusmedium

Overview

Prioritize full clears and tempo to reach key item spikes before contesting Nasus's scaling power.
Avoid early river fights against Nasus's slow and stacking damage; look for clean reset fights after enemy CC is used.
Use your superior clear speed to pressure opposite side camps and deny Nasus jungle tempo.

Jungle Plan

Focus on efficient camp sequencing and full clears to hit item spikes quickly, avoiding early fights where Nasus's slow and stacks threaten extended trades.
Invade or contest river objectives only when nearby lanes have priority and Nasus's key slows or are on cooldown.
Use cross-map pathing to punish Nasus's slow jungle clear and force him into unfavorable fights after his CC is committed.

Danger windows

Avoid early invade windows where slow and stacking can trap you in isolated river fights.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Nasus's durability and slow can outtrade you.
Respect Nasus's scaling window around 15-20 minutes when he becomes a significant threat in side-lane duels and objective fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize XP and item progress, avoiding early invades unless lanes have priority.
Contest Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support.
Track Nasus's jungle pathing to avoid early CC-heavy duels and preserve your farming tempo.

Power spikes

At level 6, use to chase reset targets after Nasus commits his slow or defensive cooldowns.
First item spike improves clear speed and damage; maintain high camp tempo and punish messy skirmishes.
Respect Nasus's level 6 and high stack thresholds, avoiding extended fights where he can outlast you.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and reset potential into objective control by contesting dragons and Rift Herald after item spikes.
Use and to clean up low-health targets once enemy CC is spent, denying Nasus free farm and scaling.
Maintain cross-map pressure and tempo to prevent Nasus from safely stacking and becoming a side-lane threat.
